Teaninich 2004

DISTILLED 26th January 2004 AND BOTTLED 15th October 2025

The cask yielded only 280 bottles and it was bottled at natural cask strength of 55.2%

A medium bodied spirit with a strong balance of fruity floral and spice notes. Matured in a hogshead and finished in a refill barrique for slight fruity sweetness.

Located north of Inverness, this is one of Diageo’s largest sites capable of producing well over 10 million litres of alcohol per year. Also famous for its unique hammer mill and mash filter allowing for a lager yield and a wider range of cereals to be distilled. Here we have finished this long aged spirit in a refill barrique for over 18 months adding a complexity and and a deep spicy character.

Subtle, light and fresh on the initial nose but time reveals gentle sweetness in the form of desiccated coconut, honeysuckle and a touch tobacco. A subtle and gentle entry to the palate with notes of cinnamon apple, red liquorice and vanilla custard, followed by a late spiced biscuit and coffee character - complexity building over time. The finish remains light but the spice of the oak fades to reveal notes of pain-au-chocolate and chamomile tea.
